Answer: How to package a WAR as a .deb

[Johannes Ernst <jernst+lists.debian.org@netmesh.us>]

The best answer that I obtained off-list is an ant task that's sitting  
here:

If you know ant, it's trivially simple, you just say in some XML  
arguments "put these files there", set some attributes like maintainer  
address etc. and you are done. It's even cross-platform.

Thanks to everybody who responded.

Cheers,


Johannes.
